Episode Description
Lep in the hood, come to do no good. Join PJ and Derek as they take a wild detour into one of horror’s most baffling franchise pivots with Rob Spera’s Leprechaun In the Hood (2000). In this episode the guys try to make sense of the film’s place in the larger Leprechaun series, its cult following, from Warwick Davis’s ever-committed performance as the rhyming trickster to Ice-T’s scene-stealing role as a ruthless music mogul, and the uncomfortable questions it raises about representation, parody, and early-2000s genre trends and hip-hop culture. 📺
